Layton Christian Academy's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Ava Smith led the charge by dropping a double-double on 16 points and 17 rebounds. Smith is on a roll when it comes to rebounds, as she's now pulled down ten or more in the last five games she's played dating back to last season. Fabiana Lopez was another key player, earning 12 points along with seven steals.
Wasatch skirted past Layton Christian Academy 46-44 in their previous meeting back in November of 2023. The rematch might be a little tougher for Wasatch since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
